A cozy and healthy chili that’s packed with protein and fiber, perfect for weeknights and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb lean ground turkey or beef
  • 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 can diced tomatoes
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup corn (optional)
  • 2 cups vegetable or chicken broth

Instructions

  1. Brown the Meat: In a large pot, brown the ground turkey or beef over medium heat, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks until it’s no longer pink.
  2. Sauté the Vegetables: Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and bell pepper. Sauté until the vegetables are tender and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the Spices: Stir in the chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Let the spices bloom for a minute, releasing their aromatic fragrance.
  4. Combine the Beans and Tomatoes: Add the rinsed black beans, kidney beans, diced tomatoes, corn (if using), and broth to the pot. Stir gently until everything is well mixed.
  5. Simmer to Perfection: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and reduce the heat. Let it cook for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
  6. Serve and Enjoy!: Once the chili has thickened and the house is filled with delicious aromas, serve it hot in bowls. Enjoy with your favorite toppings, like shredded cheese or fresh cilantro!

Notes

This chili pairs excellently with cornbread or avocado. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
